GAME BIRDS IN BATTLE.
A Lively Main Between Kentucky
and Ohio Birds Won by the
Latter

A lively cooking main took place
last night,at farmhouse, on the
Preston-street road, at which about
fifty cock fanciers were present. The
event had been looked forward to by
the sporting fraternity for several
months with a great deal Of interest,
owing to to the regulations of the
owners of the birds and the excellent
breeds of the cocks to be fought
They were owned by George Wright,
of Portland, and "Yanks" Heady, OF
Ohio, who has taken part in many OF
the principal cocking-mains for seve'
raj years past.
In company with one of the inter-
ested parties a Courier-Journal re-
porter was driven to the scene of the
main, and found everything in readi-
ness, with prevailing spirit ofinter-
est and excitement awaiting the COM
ing of the principals. The prelimi-
naries were at once arranged, and
stakes deposited. Twenty-Five dol
lars battle was decided upon, with
800, in case of an odd fight, money
TO be forfeited If foul was made by
either side. The cocks were then
produced, and pitted for the opening
bout.

est anu eAclteinent awaiting INC cOHi-

naries were at once arranged, and

lars battle was decided upon, with
800, in case of an odd fight, money
10 be forfeited If foul was made by
either side. The cocks were then
and pitted for the opening
bout.
FIRST FIGHT.
Between two flne-looking birds,
one a red Spanish cock, the
property of Wright, weighing four
pounds nine ounces, and Heady's
black Dominick, weighing, barely
four pounds. The birds flew togeth-
er,using their gaffs rather freely. AT
ter fifteen minutes of hard fighting,
in which much blood was spilled by
both chickens, Wrights bird won by
running its gait through the neck Of
HeadY's, disabling it.
SECOND FIGHT.
Between a five.pound-one. ounce,
bird, belonging to Wright, and Hea-
dy's Spanish cock, weighing four
pounds, nine ounces. The fighting
was forced all along by the lighter
bird, which won easily after punish-
ing Wrights bird for ten minutes.
THIRD FIGHT.
Two fine looking cocks, each weigh
ing five pounds four ounces, were
pitted for this fight, which was won
in short order by Wright in nine
minutes.
FOURTH FIGHT.
Bets were freely made before the
birds for this battle were pitted that
Wright would win the remaining two
bouts. Heady took several of the
bets himself, and offered TO raise
stakes, which was declined by Wright.
The cocks, two fine white ones, were
then produced, and dashed at each
other with vim. Heady's bird short
ly ran its gaff through the enemy's
body, completely knocked IL out of
the fight.
FIFTH FIGHT.
Much excitement was manifested
in this battle, each man having won
two rounds. The best cocks had
been reserved for the final coming
together, and the betting was even.
Wright presented a noble-looking
Virginia-bred cock, weighing six
pounds one ounce, while Heady pit
ted one of the celebrated Huddleston
breed of chickens of equal weight.
They dashed at each other, and for
seven minutes it was give and take
with them, the birds being apparent
ly evenly matched. Finally, howev-
er, Heady's cock droveits gafr through
the head of Wright's bird, throwing
It to the ground. Not being able TO
come to the scratch at the end of the
count the fight was, amid much en-
enthusiasm, declared in favor Of
Heady.
Wright at once challenged Heady
for another main, to take place in
side Of two weeks. 1t was accepted.
The preliminaries, however were moi
arranged.

THE WHITE CAPS"
Details of the Davis Lynching-Tortures to
Which the Victim Was Subjected.
,ial to the Indianapolis Journal

spacial to the Indianapolis Journal
LOUISVILLE, Ky. July 6.-Some details of the
lyrching Of John Davis. charged with having
outraged the daughter of farmer near Eckerty,
Perry county Indiana, several weeks ago, have
come to light 1t has been impossible to get any
inform alton from that region relative to the MUIR
der of Davis since the occurrence OF the tragedy,
the lynchers having threatened to kill any
person who may testify against them or give any
newspaper information. The body of Davis was,
on Sunday last. exhumed. 1t was horribly mu-
tiiated, and showed that the victim had been
tortured by the mob to force him to confess his
guilt and that life was probably extinct when
he was hanged. Two sharpened sticks had
been forced down Daviss throat, penetrating
the lungs, and he had been tortured in other
ways by the knife, and with fire. few days
after the lynchng the mob went to the cemetery,
took up the body and endeavored to hide some of
the evidences of their cruelty. No trace of the
brother and half brother of John Davis has yet
been found. The latter, John Enlow who had
nc knowledge whatever of the alleged crime,
WAS also tortured to force him to confess. While
the mob were preparing to hang him he sue
ceedei in breaking his bonds, and escaped.

The Pressure from England, Austria and
Italy Too Strong for the Porte.
Specia5 to the Indianapolis Journaa.
LONDON, July 6-Although the Anglo Turkish
treaty negotiated by Sir Henry Drummond
Welt is now dead letter, there are indi-
cations that the Turkish government is slowly
bending under the great pressure that is exerted
upon it by England, Austria and Italy, and that
the Sultan will append his signature to an in
strument bearing a remarkable resemblance to
the discarded agreement within short time.
The influence of the Franco Russian coalition
upon the Porte is waning, and unless something
unforeseen occurs to revive it, its demise within
a brief space of time is assured. Sir Henry
Drummond Wolff will leave Constantinople
Saturday, and further overtures contemplating
any alteration in the status of England in
Egypt must come from the Porte. What repre-
sentations the nglo-Austro-Italian alliance has
made to the Sultan are not definitely known. but
it is believed here that they are couched in the
form of ultimatum.
